Timothee Chalamet’s Oscar-Nominated Biopic Finds New Fans On Hulu’s Top Charts

Some children from Minnesota once sang, “The Times, they are Changin”. After its first theatrical release in December 2024, Bob Dylan’s biography became “unknown” available on VOD at the end of February. Then, on March 27, it was provided to broadcast on Hulu to the subscribers of that service. From writing these lines, the film is currently occupying the best Hulu plans, making it the most viewed movie on the time.

In general, this should not be surprising at all. Holo has always had relationships with Disney and the twentieth century studios, the mother companies of Searchlight Pictures, which are distributed “full anonymous”, and most Searchlight versions in the twentieth century, working well on service as a result. In addition, the film was a very worthy version, as it became a competitor to dark horses during the previous award season. This was particularly the case for the star Timothy Chalamet, who won the Best Actor Award for his filming of Robert Allen Zimmerman, nicknamed Bob Dylan, at the Actress of the Screen Representative Syndicate (where he gave a great acceptance letter to speak) and was nominated by many other bodies of the awards, including his second candidacy in Oscar. Looking at Chalamite’s influence in pop culture, the group of the deep bench group of the film, its attractiveness in the biography period, and its central personality is one of the most famous musicians and musicians in all ages, it is given that the “complete unknown” will be a great lot.

However, the audience who discovers it only after the Hulu version reflects a shift in the habits of watching industry and the audience, which we all realize, but it is still a painful point. Although “a complete unknown” ended somewhat for himself in general-he lost 134.8 million dollars for a budget ranging between 50 and 70 million dollars-the box office was not, an additional evidence that the public does not appear in the theaters of the films that end up in the end.

It is fair to say that no one, not even film makers, or even hope that it will be “unknown” will be “Avengers”. It was not designed to be, and it was not marketed in this way. In fact, the marketing campaign he received was the one that was only based on its position and the attractiveness of the voters, a logical approach, given the popularity of the blood vessels with this group. However, it seems to be the largest part of the debate about “an unknown unknown” that cares about what the film can do for his team and crew, and less than the content and attractiveness of the movie itself.

Perhaps this is the reason why the “complete unknown” failure to light the box office during its initial theatrical release. Although the film was unprecedented, it hardly collides with the highest 5 during its period, as for the first time in the No. 4 rank and never reach a position higher than that. There, of course, many elements that deal with such performance – things that affect the entire entertainment industry and are very complicated so that the details cannot be taken here. Suffice it to say that, if the fans were more aware of the movie, there may be more attention. If there was more attention, the film received a larger version (only playing in 2,835 theaters, just over half of the 4100 theaters that Disney gave to “MUFASA: The Lion King”)) and perhaps it was a greater success.

The fact that the “complete unknown” seems to be a real successful on Holo who supports this hypothesis, just as it is constantly asserting an anxious fact: thanks to the contraction of theater windows, the masses are trained to wait for broadcasts instead of hunting movies on the big screen.

Do not let me be a contradictory Dylan, though. In general, it is great to discover more people “completely unknown”. The film is a sterling example for the great Hollywood filmmaking, and there is no warning. Although Searchlight (which was, of course, was originally the Fox Searchlight before its purchase by Disney) is the phenomenon of studio arm to make and/or get independent and specialized films, “full unknown” looks like a kind of movie used by the classic Hollywood. This may be partially intended, as James Mangoulid James Manguld embraces the feeling of the movie in the 1960s.

However, the film is not some elegant exercise at the surface level or reactionary tribute, especially when compared to the Mangold body. The director has shown that he has a very feeling of the letter from his first few films such as “Heavy” and “Cop Land”, and even the work that works with it such as “Identity” and “Logan” contains an illuminated quality that maintains the aspects of these most ridiculous films. The most brief way to show what makes “very complete” is its comparison with the biography of the former musician of Mandeld, “Walk The Line” for the year 2005. The last movie can be seen, the story of Johnny Cash and John Carter, as the ideal movie for the biography direction ’00s, especially as it has become the basis for a satirical simulation of Jake Casandan from the branch, “Walk hard: The Dewey Cox Story. Despite the presence of Johnny Cash, the “complete unknown” is not similar to “Walk The Line”, which is clear like that, meaning that Mangold is an official movie maker (see also: the difference in tone and aesthetics between “Wolverine” and “Logan”).

Despite some negative reviews that it rejects as a traditional biography, “completely unknown” strengths lies in the manufacture of smart films well designed but unobtrusive. Mangold is the type of director who knows only where the camera is placed when, and not who imposes a style on the movie that surpasses the other aspects of the film (at least among all the actors). In other words, he knows how to make everything working at a concert. “A complete anonymous” is a film calmly suffering from some wonderful art in it, so while it is a shame that it was not a greater success of its theatrical release, at least proves that it is a movie that will not be forgotten quickly either.
